news .Com Registrations Back Over 127 Million

[Bram C.]

According to Verisign the number of .Com domain names in the Domain Name Base are back over 127 million after dropping below that number briefly in December.

It seems that the huge domain registration volume that occurred in the 4Q of 2015 have now recycled through. Those domain names that were dropped after the first year of registration have now dropped and its back to business as usual.

Yeah, that drop was what I was talking about in 2015 already.

It had to work it's way out, because the extent of those reg's were nuts. One person would be responsible for 1000's of registrations, etc.I mean, we heard new terms being coined like 'winged domains'... I was like wtf is that? Turned out it was repeating letters with the number "8" on either side. :D
